KARNAL: Only seven women of the total 165 candidates, which is just 4%, are in the fray for the Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (HSGMC) elections set to be held on January 19.

Ravinder Kaur Ajrana, who is the junior vice-president of the outgoing ad-hoc committee under president Bhupinder Singh Assandh, is contesting as an independent from ward 15 (Thanesar) in Kurukshetra district. She is the wife of BJP leader Kawaljeet Singh Ajrana, who had to back out as the saffron party candidate from Pehowa assembly constituency after facing a rebellion within the party unit and protests from the Sikh community. A former state president of SAD's women's wing, she is one of the strong contenders for the gurdwara body.
